Graham Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have recently bought a Mills rifle grenade No.36 complete with the base plate ready to be fired from a No.1 discharger. It raises a few questions: was the 'safety pin' an ordinary split pin used for many other non military uses or a special pin, and was the 'safety pin ring' the same as an ordinary split 'key ring'? Finally anybody got a comment on the legality of making a 'No.1 Discharger' for fitting on to a deactivated SMLE Mk.III*? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm not sure about the pins, but if you're looking for one DugUp do good repros: http://www.dugup.co.uk/ware13/wh13_page_2.htm AFAIK a repro cup discharger would be legal if it is built from new and non-functional.

Graham Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank you for the link - a very interesting and useful site. I now realise that although my grenade is genuine WW1 (probably) the striker is more modern (?). Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
